Day Camp
Description
Counsellor in Training is a 2-week youth leadership program that focuses on developing the skills required to become a day camp Counsellor. Youth complete a number of workshops to further their skills in communication, conflict resolution, teamwork, leadership and stress management. During the first week, youth will spend time enjoying camp activities, completing workshops, and developing a deeper understanding of program planning. Week 2, youth will be paired with a day camp counsellor to demonstrate what they have learned and assist with delivering camp programs to younger campers. At the end of this week, youth will be given a performance appraisal by their trainer and receive 25 volunteer hours.
